Phone or Text rd January NTA Sales Newsletter Issue 10 December 2016/ January A Happy New Year to all our readers and welcome to the first NTA Sales newsletter of Until a couple of weeks ago it looked as if there was not much on the horizon as far as new trolleybus books are concerned, with no major British titles expected. Then, we came aware of several recent and forthcoming titles from Europe, and especially from the rarely covered southern area, including a feast of material from Barcelona. So, this newsletter will mainly detail these titles. We intend to order a batch of each one, and so advance orders or expressions of interest would be appreciated to help gauge demand. We are giving the cover price in euros to give a rough idea of the price we will sell at. Thanks, as ever, to those members who advised us of some of these titles.

8 Last month s Competition Identify the fleet number of each of the following (British ) trolleybuses. First correct entry wins a prize. 1. Loose women perhaps rode this last trip. 2.

Not trouble at t mill, but trouble at Longwood Last Maidstone trolley to Loose The second Rotherham trolley (following the second Bradford, Leeds, Dundee- the first four British systems.) The only trolleybus built by The Gloucester Carriage And Wagon Company London trolley sold for use as an office before being preserved Huddersfield trolley which ran off the Longwood reverser. There were 2 entries, but sadly neither was correct. Question 1 seems to have been the stumbling block. The last trolley to Loose was 68 whilst the actual last trolley was 72 (see The Maidstone Trolleybus, NTA 1972 p.47.. However, on reflection, I am prepared to concede that there was perhaps some ambiguity in the question. Perhaps there were some women from Loose on the last trip, so this month's prize goes to... Andrew Henbest. This Month's Competition On which system could you get a trolleybus to Shipley? (Clue: it's not Bradford) A prize for the first correct answer.
